PLUS: ‘Ofsted stress gave me a heart condition’
Hello, Property writer Phoebe Jobling and data journalist David Dubas-Fisher have been crunching the numbers to work out how much of their wages people are spending on rent across Greater Manchester. And it’s thrown up some interesting results.
The average full-time employee in Manchester earned an estimated £26,127 last year after tax and national insurance were deducted. That’s gone up by 26 percent from 2014, when the average take-home pay in the city was £20,738 for full-time workers. And after a turbulent couple of weeks, which saw the first set of shows cancelled when work on the £365m venue wasn’t completed in time, all involved will be hoping things run smoothly.
Mr Davis has undergone eight Ofsted inspections during his tenure, which he frankly admitted had physically and mentally taken its toll. He had considered quitting due to the 'high-stakes climate of fear' he claimed the system creates. "Getting a 'good' grade from Ofsted does not compensate for all the stress, anxiety and fear created in our school over the past few years.” You can read Mr Davis’ interview with chief reporter Neal Keeling here.
